Roland FA07 Music Workstation

The Roland FA-07 is Roland’s 76 key version of their flagship workstation. It picks up the baton from the legendary Fantom series, and re-imagines it for a modern, computer-centred era, without sacrificing any of its power as a live performance instrument. Like its predecessors, it still has an arsenal of stunning sounds of all kinds, incorporating flagship technology, with a 16-track onboard sequencer and integrated sampler. However, this is now combined with a keyboard designed to connect perfectly with a modern computer DAW.

Incredible Sounds

The onboard sounds are key to the success of any workstation, and here, the FA-07 has some of the very best anywhere. Over 2,000 sounds are featured in total, derived from those in the Integra-7 uber-module. It also incorporates Roland’s cutting edge, SuperNATURAL technology. This delivers more expressive and authentic sounds, by removing the typical audio artefacts of sample-based synthesis (such as obvious sample switching or looping), or adding correct audio details (such as sympathetic resonance on piano sounds, for example), and much more.

A selection of SuperNATURAL acoustic, drum and synth sounds are included, and sounds can also be expanded via internal wave expansion slots, plus the FA-07 is compatible with Integra-7 sounds. This means that lots more can be accessed online via Roland’s excellent Axial sound library.

16-Track Onboard MIDI Seqencer
Sometimes, when inspiration hits, the computer isn’t switched on or even nearby. This is where the workstation often proves its worth. The Roland FA-07 is equipped with a 16-track sequencer, but has some very clever, and very useful tricks up its sleeve…

A non-stop loop recorder enables ideas to be caught easily, and songs to be constructed quickly and intuitively. In addition, via the SDHC slot, work can be exported to a finished stereo audio file, or to multi-track audio data for use in a DAW of your choice.

Build-in Sampler and Audio Interface with DAW Integration

Like its predecessors, the FA-07 has a built-in sampler, but here it is based on the SP-404sx. This has sixteen sample pads, with four different banks, and direct recording to SDHC. This adds further to the unit’s power as a standalone instrument and performance tool.

A USB socket to the rear provides the means for the unique to connect seamlessly with a DAW set-up, however. This operates as a MIDI connection, but also an audio interface, too. A guitar and microphone input are equipped, which can be used to input audio to the sampler, or to the DAW via the audio interface.

Real Time Controls

The FA-07 is fitted with a plethora of controllers. To the left, six rotary controllers provide the means to tweak sounds in real-time, or change effects settings, EQ and Pan. The whole workstation can be configured for use with a DAW at the touch of a button.

An astonishing, 16 effects engines (one for each part) feature, along with dedicated drum processors, EQ, chorus and reverb. If this were not enough, the whole thing weighs just 5.7kg, making it a gigging musician’s dream.

There are very different demands placed on a workstation for the live performer and the studio producer. The Roland FA-07 provides ample tools for both parties, but does so with some of the very best sounds and control available

* The wave expansion slots are rewritable internal waveform memory. You can download data from the Axial sound library site and write it via a USB flash drive into the FA's internal wave memory (slot).

We came from Northampton just on the reviews we had previously looked at and they weren’t wrong. Service was amazing, personal and informative. We were given great advice on what was suitable for our 4 year old and where we should start him off.

Iv'e known Nigel Make-peace and Steve for a number of years at there shopin Leicester, and over the years I have bought Korg, Roland,Yamaha,Keyboards,and my latest one the new Genus Yamaha Keyboard, which I'm thrilled to bits withthe sounds are absolutely out standing to say the least and so easy to play andsuch a pleasure to own and to be a proud owner of the ( GENOS Keyboard )

Both Steve and Nigel (at the shop) provided me with all the information I required when choosing a piano for the first time and explained the benefits of the different makes at different prices. The service was very friendly, with no hint of any pressure to make a quick decision. Chris and ……. (sorry forgotten his name) who delivered and piano, were also excellent in every respect and Chris (back at the shop a few days later) helped me with all sorts of queries regarding my experience of learning to play during the first few days of ownership - 'I am a complete beginner'. My only criticism is that I was not told (at the time of purchase) how to go about obtaining my guarantee documents. By chance I found a Casio registration slip in the packaging - but was told at the shop later that I needed to register the purchase on line.

Excellent deal on old keyboard and really helpful in the shop. Delivery of new item went smoothly. Travelled from Lincolnshire to make purchase - would certainly do it again. New digital piano has given my piano playing a new lease of life :)

One of the best purchasing experiences I have had. Steve listened to me, understood what I wanted and gave me good advice. In addition, I got a very good deal - comparable with anything online. I left feeling that if there were to be any problems with the equipment, I had total confidence in Keysound to make it right. Cannot recommend this company enough.

Brought the Casio celviano AP-470 from key sounds. The piano is beautiful and sounds fantastic. The service was great, we ordered online after speaking to a very helpful chap on the phone at key sounds the piano was delivered within four days and set up by two friendly men. Highly recommended Key sounds, brilliant service guys. Thank you

Fantastic service. Very knowledgeable staff who answered all our questions and spent time demonstrating what different models could do. No pressure to buy and excellent aftercare when we did. Piano delivered quickly and set up at no extra cost. Would definitely use Keysound again and recommend to others!

after explaining to Nigel what we were after, he showed us over to the Roland FP30 and talked us through it’s sounds and features, what a fantastic sounding piano it truly blew us away and continues to do so, this is the second electric piano we have bought from Keysound and we would very happily deal with them again, thanks for the great service
